  • the finished PDP realizes color image display by selectively applying picture signal voltage to the display electrode to cause discharge, and exciting each phosphor layer with ultraviolet light generated by such discharge to emit light of red, green, and blue.
  • Low melting point frit glass having lead oxide as the main component is generally used for the dielectric layer of the PDP and the sealing material.
  • the frit glass includes amorphous frit glass that does not crystallize when heated and in which the amorphous property still remains, and crystallized frit glass that crystallizes when heated. Each material has merits and demerits, and thus is selected in view of matching with the manufacturing step in most cases.

  • the sealing material is arranged at the periphery of at least one of the substrates of the front plate and the rear plate using film thickness printing, ink jet, or an application device equipped with a dispenser.
  • tentative firing is performed at a predetermined temperature at which the frit glass will not completely soften, so that the front plate and the rear plate are assembled while facing each other, and sealing is carried out at a sealing temperature higher than the temperature of tentative firing.
  • no-lead material referred to as “lead free” or “leadless” that does not contain lead component even for the PDP is desired in view of recent environmental problems.
  • An example of phosphoric acid (phosphoric acid-tin oxide etc.) sealing material and bismuth oxide sealing material that does not contain lead component is disclosed as the sealing material (see e.g., patent document 1, patent document 2 and the like).

  • the frit glass containing bismuth oxide has rate of change A for the change in the softening point temperature with respect to the heating temperature up to a predetermined heating temperature, and has a rate of change B steeper than the range of change A when the predetermined heating temperature is exceeded. That is, the softening point temperature changes due to change in the solid state property of the frit glass through heating, and the solid state property rapidly changes when exceeding the predetermined heating temperature. Therefore, when the frit glass is heated in the tentative firing step, the temperature for softening and melting in the following sealing and bonding step is changed by the heating temperature.
  • the heating temperature at which the rate of change rapidly changes, that is, change in the rate of change occurs is 490° C.

  • the softening point temperature becomes a low temperature of lower than or equal to 450° C. even if the next sealing temperature is a temperature of up to 490° C. Thus, even softening and melting is performed, and sealing and bonding becomes reliable.

That is, the softening point temperature of the frit glass containing lead is 440° C. when the temperature of firing the phosphor layers is 470° C., and does not change even if tentative firing of the sealing step is performed at 470° C. Thus, the frit glass completely softens and melts, and sealing and bonding is reliably performed if the next sealing temperature is set to 450° C.
